Description

The picture stored in the cloud can be watched from everywhere with a browser or for example my App WebLiveWallpaper. Upload picture with various methods like http, ftp or Dropbox, send it with email or store on your sdcard for example to create a timelapse video.

Use as simple but mobile timed webcam with refresh rates from seconds to hours, with motion detection or your defined daily activity times. High resolution pictures are also possible. Mark the pictures with text or image to advertise for your place or business.

Very easy to use with opensmartcam.com or SENSR.NET.

This app provides me with a simple possibility to mail someone (my wife) and start refreshing a webcam view of what I see with one buttontap. Also it can work as a more static webcam with set activity times and picture imprint if you got a spare or partially broken phone you want to place somewhere connected to power running all the time ...

Easiest usage without much setup hassle is with opensmartcam or sensr. Then you do not even need your own homepage/server!

In the app press the MENU phone button for settings!

Http setup for your own server:To enable your personal webcam put the included (see http settings in app or support forum thread) two files on your server.

You also have to enable the server to write to this directory - chmod!

And you should really enable password protection for your website if you do not enhance the php page with some security measures (filesize limit, only jpg allowed, ...). Otherwise everyone can access your camera pictures and possibly even your server!

Again:This webcam app is a bit different. It does not stream video. It is not meant to be placed next to or connected to your Computer. It will not have nice camera preview, fx or settings because old/broken androids can be used. This camera is intended to run without user (interaction) after initial setup possibly with a cheap 2G mobile data plan (in some countries/carriers for example 30 MB of data are free and that is enough to upload several pictures a day!).

For unstable devices autostart and reboot after a number of taken pictures (my cheap jpad tablet for example crashes after about 70 pictures in a row) can be enabled in the settings.

Full res not working Previous versions used to allow full resolution pictures to be uploaded, but regardless of me choosing the correct settings it refuses to do so. I've tried this on two different devices to Dropbox and FTP. Please fix!

Amazing piece of software Have used this on various old phones with varying degrees of success. Generally, the configuration on one phone will not work as well with a different one so a bit of testing is required with each model of phone used. Overall, the features available are incredible for a free app, would gladly pay for it. Users giving one star feedback and calling the app junk have to realise it is not designed for users who do not want to experiment with the settings. It's free! Give the guy a break.

New Problem Latest version, 6 may 2014, takes one picture and then stop, using Samsung ace duos. I had used MobileWebCam for a year now until the 6th of may. Now it is not working, sadlly. May 14 release, the problem still exists. Please note, the ace duos has one rear camera, and I set up MobileWebCam to upload images to my dropbox.

Flaky piece of junk This doesn't work very well on my ancient HTC 4G (Sprint) phone which I'd like to use as a webcam -- it has many java.lang.NullPointerExceptions. I'm not an android developer, but the code is open source on code google com. If this worked, I'd pay several dollars for it -- a dedicated WiFi webcam with fewer features costs more than $30.

Horribly buggy Can't change image size from 320x200, upload to SFTP stops workung after some time ('No such file/directory'). Pretty sure the app also forgets settings sometines ... Horrible software... (On Google Nexus Droid) Update: I ended up saving the images to the phone which worked for a while. Sometimes the app didn't take pictures at the scheduled time though. Anyway, now the app started taking photos in 320x240 only. Can't take larger images... its ridicolous...

Great app! I have been searching for an application to use my webcam and my android device for remote surveillance for some time and I found only crappy software, until I found this app... It has almost everything I was looking for, tons of configuration options, and it's totally free. Many thanks to the author!

What an app! I knew what I wanted to achieve when I set out looking for IP cameras initially but thought we would have problems with firewalls in the office and then someone recommended this. Can't find anything that hasn't been covered by the author, everything I can think I'd want it to do has already been thought of - including Dropbox upload, auto-restart, motion detection, etc.! And the suggestion to use partially working phones is precisely what I had in mind (as we sell phones and have some with faulty earpieces or partly cracked glass). Best of all, it's free - would have paid for this functionality as it saves me buying an IP camera(s) and the time and grief of configuring it.

Awesome app. must have!! Can you please add a button to take pictures? Currently as soon as i touch the screen, even if the focus is not clear the picture is taken. What we want is the touch allows to focus correctly until image is clear and then the take picture button takes the correct clear image. If you can add this feature the rest app is 5 star!!!!

T This is good start i wanted night mode. But then during day i wanted Video mode which this app doesnt have. After 30 minutes or so the cam stops working and the phone just shows black screen with no response other than charger beep
